His blue eyes glinted as shetooked at him. She waved at him and said,
“Brother Griffin, come Inside,”
Griffin refused a few times as he shook his head. But she walked toward him and held his hand.
Let’s go
Laughing, Griffin allowed her to lead him inside the house.
Ava let go of Griffin’s hand and told him to sit on the couch
She noticed Dane had taken off his hoodie, which was lying on a couch. He was in his inner white vest. Her cheeks named red as she took in the sight of his tattooed muscles.
He was standing in front of a wall that was adorned with photographs of her family. He was observing the photos.
She looked away from him and uttered,
“You two can sit. I will make some coffee for you.”
Dane turned his head to the side and gave her a nod, then returned his gaze to the photos.
Ava left the living room and headed to the kitchen to make coffee for them.
Dane’s eyes were on a photo.
Instead of sitting on a couch, Griffin chose to accompany Dane. He came to stand next to him and looked at the photo where Dane fixed his gaze.
It was a family photo. It was photographed at Ava’s mother’s wedding to Gamma Harper. Aside from Ava’s family was in the photo.
“That’s Ian Dawson!” Griffin muttered, looking at Jan and his family beside Ava’s family.

Dane stared at the photo without responding anything. Griffin gulped as he turned his head to look at his Alpha, He looked calm, which was not a good sign.
“He must be close to Ava’s family since Stephen is his gamma.”
Dane listened to him, moving his gaze to another photo. But then his gaze darkened when Griffin spoke again.
“I forgot to tell you. Four years ago, when I came to his pack, lan cane to protect her from me, assuming that I would hurt her. He looked really protective of her. I wonder if he is aware that she is a hybrid.”
Dane discarded his words and grabbed a photo, looking at it carefully. It was Ava and Stephen’s picture. They looked really close and happy. Griffin felt a little insecure when he saw the picture since he was Ava’s blood–related brother.
Griffin was about to say something, but before that, the door of the house opened.
When Griffin turned around, he saw Ava’s mother, Angela Taylor.
Angela had just returned from the hospital. She had an emergency and had to leave for a while. Since her work was done, she

She came across a pair of blue eyes. Her eyes widened in shock
“Griffin!”
Griffin glanced at his Alpha, who did not move, nor did he turn to Angela. It was as if he did not care.
Griffin made his way toward Angela.
On the other hand, Angela was scared. She could not believe that diffin had come to her house.
“What are you doing here?” she asked.
Griffin paused in the middle after noticing the unwelcome behavior. He grinned at her and said,
“Aunt Angela, it’s been a very long time.”
Angela gulped, shaking her head. “I told you before. My daughter can’t go with you.”
At that time, a voice startled Angela, breaking the ice on her head.
“Why? Why can’t she?”
It was then Angela’s gaze shitted to the other man in the room. She was so taken aback by Griffin that she failed to notice that another man was present.
Dane hung the photo on the wall, then turned around to face Angel.
The look of shock spread across Angela’s eyes. For a moment, she felt as if everything had frozen around her.
The pair of cold brown eyes pierced her. Her lips quivered as she began to step backward.
“A–Alpha!”
Dane leaned his back against the wall behind him and asked,
“Mrs. Adler does not seem pleased to see me,”
Griffin scoffed upon hearing Dane. “Alpha, it’s Mrs. Taylor.”
“Oh, yeah! My bad,” Dane said and smirked at Angela.
Staring at Dane, Angela blinked. Sweat trickled down her shoulder from her forehead. She was nervous and scared.
Dane began to walk toward her. She took a few steps backward until her back was against the door.
Dane paused a few feet away, his gaze fixed on her.
“So? Will you not welcome your Alpha into your home?”
Angela shook her head and mumbled,
“It’s not like that, Alpha. P–Please.”

Dane leaned in and asked,
“Please what, Mrs. Taylor?”
Angela took a deep breath and tried to compose herself before saying what was on her mind.
“Please, don’t take my daughter away. She is innocent. She has her own life now. She doesn’t want to go back to the Thunder Howl Pack

Angela lowered her head and replied,
“S–She belongs to this pack now.”
“This pack? How dare you say that!”
She flinched but did not dare to raise her head. Her hands were gripping her dress firmly.
She closed her eyes and said,
“She doesn’t know anything about the past. Please let go of her. She doesn’t need to be a part of something she is not aware of
“Oh, really?” Dane mocked her.
Angela opened her eyes and looked at him. “She is ”
Dane did not let her complete as he grabbed her neck and asked,
“You still haven’t told her the truth, have you?”
